lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. After delivery in many cases Thyroid function does return to normal, which can be identifies by checking TSH level. (<4.5 mU/L). In that case there is no need to continue the medication. However, in many cases clinical hypothyroidism may persist, in such cases dosage of Thyroxine has to be lowered by 12.5 to 25 mcg per day depending upon the TSH levels. There are no household remedies for treating hypothyroidism. For prevention only remedy is to use iodinated salt. Plus avoid soy beans and soy containing products. Consume more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Never use maida, bakery items and pastries. If you have any doubts please do come back. Thanks.
